OBJECTIVE: To compare measurements of the arterial blood volume (aBV), a perfusion parameter calculated from arterial spin labelling (ASL), and cerebral blood volume (CBV), calculated from dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI. In the clinic, CBV is used for grading of intracranial tumours. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Estimates of aBV from the model-free ASL technique quantitative STAR labelling of
This study discusses the image of Sweden and Swedish society in Swedish-language instructional material used in the Swedish-language course for immigrants (S.F.I.). As such, the main source material for this study has been different textbooks used as instructional material in the S.F.I. course from 1967-2005. Theoretically, this study takes its inspiration from the branch of discourse analysis kno
Popular Abstract in English Thirty years after the discovery of HIV, the AIDS epidemic is still with us. While the incidence is declining globally and access to anti-retroviral therapy for low- and middle-income countries is improving, the number of new HIV infections is still high. Despite stubborn efforts to design viral immunogens, an effective formulation for the induction of broad and potent Even though the relative contribution of neutralizing antibodies (Nab) to prevent progression to AIDS during HIV-1 infection is still unclear, the induction of broadly NAb directed against HIV-1 through vaccination is considered to represent an important goal for the development of HIV-1 vaccines. Factors contributing to the induction of NAb may include the strength and duration of antigenic stimu
Diffusion is a molecular phenomenon and can be described as the process by which matter is transported from one part of a system to another as a result of random molecular motion. The diffusion coefficient is then a quantity that describes the mobility of the molecules in a media. In recent years, methods have been developed to image the diffusion of water in human tissue using magnetic resonance
Nanoparticles have gained considerable attention in the last decades, especially in the medical field. The nanoparticles could enter our bodies from anywhere in the surrounding environment and interact with objects in our biological fluids. However, there is little knowledge about this process. The protein competes for the nanoparticle's surface area, forming “corona” made of different protein
This thesis examines how people from the Swedish middle-class experience their role in the climate crisis through their sustainable consumption and lifestyle practices. Today, consumer-fixated solutions are among the most prominent among large institutions, corporations and political unions globally. Simultaneously, policy initiatives to encourage sustainable practices have not effectively corresp

The aim of this thesis is to investigate information use, equilibrium behavior and social welfare in a duopoly market with anti-coordination. The analysis is conducted through the application of a game theoretic model first introduced in a 2002 seminal paper by Morris and Shin, to the Los Angeles stringer industry. In this setting, freelance journalists selling footage to news networks have a moti
Feminist foreign policy initiatives have since they first appeared weathered criticism when put in relation to an active weapons export often to non-democratic states violating women’s rights. This paper then examines the Swedish case by using argumentation analysis as method to test the moral commitments of Sweden’s foreign policy initiative against recent arms deals. It was made to explore the p
Sites of Lobaria pulmonaria reported from the nemoral zone of the Swedish provinces Skåne and Blekinge since 1990 were revisited. At each locality, the habitat ecology and lichen viability were investigated. A substantial decline was noted, particularly in Skåne, as L. pulmonaria was found at only 24 sites, 22 of which were forests and two were wooded meadows. The commonest habitats for L. pulmonaSites of Lobaria pulmonaria reported from the nemoral zone of the Swedish provinces Skåne and Blekinge since 1990 were revisited.

Are There Any Female Astronauts? On Gender-Inclusive Translation of Non-Fiction Books for ChildrenThis article deals with gender-inclusive translation of information books for children. Translation solutions drawn from three non-fiction books translated from French to Swedish by different translators are discussed in terms of gender neutrality and inclusion. Analysis reveals that, although the Swe
In this article, I consider the use of seemingly old nominative forms (ONF) in object position. The phenomenon is noted for the dialects of Västerbotten (in Northern Sweden) by several authors. Earlier works imply that the phenomenon is rather recent (early 1900s) and that the phenomenon is in more common usage in the inland rural areas than by the more urban coast.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is now recognized as a multisystem, heterogeneous neurodegenerative disease with fluctuating trajectories and complex symptom profiles. Despite therapeutic advances, many patients (particularly women and those in late stages) and their caregivers face substantial unmet needs across physical, psychological, social, and spiritual domains, which highlight the need for a more
The 2022 edition of Lund Architecture Symposium (LAS22) will engage in (re)activating architectures. During recent years, architecture has frequently been used to communicate the ramifications of contemporary life and culture. Rarer is the communication of architecture’s role within these ramifications. Responding to this dilemma, this symposium will explore architecture that takes a much more act
When designing novel technology, many of the important design decisions tend to be taken early in the process, which is also when it is usually easier to modify the design. Thus, it is important to learn as much as possible, as early as possible in any design process. This work is carried out within the EU project ABILITY, which aims at developing novel refreshable tactile displays. Previously, we
Construction robot prototype for onsite work. Consists of an ABB IRB4600 mounted on a spindle crane chassi for mobility. Housed in a container for weather protection and logistics.
